The Missions Experience
Summertime is here. Time for family trips and life events. Our kids have much going on with camps; let’s keep them in prayer that they will experience God in mighty ways. Keep our church in prayer as we continue our Project 139 road. God is in control. He has blessed, and He will continue to bless. AMEN!!
In our Bible in One Year Study, we begin reading Ecclesiastes in the OT and 2 Timothy in the NT. Join us in reading God’s Word. It’s never too late. Visit the link on our website’s Home Page or get your paper copy from the foyer.
Don’t forget to visit the church’s website to see What’s Happening at FBC Charlotte. Read about and sign up for events, give tithes and offerings, give to Project 139, or to contact us.
We have an ASL interpreter available at our second service!

Our Mission Opportunities
God bless America and God bless you, church family. We are tremendously honored to live in a country that has freedom as we do. Let us not take any of them for granted; in fact, use that freedom to share the gospel message of Jesus’ love for all. We don’t need a special day; we can share true freedom every day of the year. Stand up for the true message of freedom—Jesus and His shed blood on the cross.

We are thankful for God’s faithfulness and your prayers and support.
One blessing has been seeing children interested in receiving Jesus as their Savior. There is no greater joy than watching young hearts respond to the gospel. We praise God for the work He’s doing in their lives.
Our VBS was a huge success! God’s Word was planted, and the excitement didn’t end when it was over. During our visits afterward, we discovered that families are hungry for hope, truth, and the abundant life that only Christ can give. We had meaningful conversations with parents and kids. We pray relationships will continue to grow and open doors for the gospel.
Our Mini Kids Camp was a wonderful blessing. 11 children attended, having an unforgettable time learning, worshiping, and making new friends. Jamie did an amazing job teaching the life of Joseph, helping children see how God is always at work during difficult circumstances.
I had the privilege of serving at a Native American children’s camp in Arizona. We had 45 campers. God was amazing, helping more than 14 kids make decisions for Christ! It was a joy to teach Joseph’s story and show the children 4 life-changing truths: God sees you, God is with you, God has a plan, and through Jesus we can experience God’s forgiveness and learn to forgive others.
Thank you for praying. They truly made a difference. Every lesson taught, conversation shared, invitation given, and child who heard the gospel was possible because God’s people pray, give, and serve alongside us.
Please pray for these children, their families, and that those who trusted Christ will grow in their faith. Pray the seeds planted during VBS and camp will bear lasting fruit, and that God will continue to draw His children and families to Himself.
We are excited to see what God does in the months ahead. Thank you for partnering with us as we help lead children and families to know, love, and follow Jesus.

A Word From Pastor Duane
My heart continues to rejoice in God’s provision for Project 139! In case you missed it, God provided $1.2 million in a matter of a few weeks – through people like you, HALLELUJAH!!!!
Our new construction team had been (and is) praying that the Lord will lead others to commit to Project 139; we will all give generously and sacrificially, and ask the Lord to multiply exponentially the gifts we give. Would you join us? Thank the Lord, and thank you for giving!
“For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.” I Corinthians 3:9.
We celebrate 250 years as a nation this month, all because of God’s grace. Thank you, Father, for Your protection, provision, and preservation; please forgive our sinfulness and bring us back to You.
Please be praying for youth camp, children’s camp, and the mission trip to Soldotna, Alaska. God is using His Church to accomplish His purposes!
It won’t be long before school resumes; please be praying for the students, teachers, staff, and administrators.
I am BLESSED to serve Jesus and you! I love you all.
